Cursor continues to act as my talented junior workforce… like many mid-level to senior developers are finding out, we are now leading LLMs to complete the task more often than coding it ourselves.
For me this is actually completely fine, since whilst I’ve programmed for a long time beginning with some rudimentary C/C++, then going into foundational vanilla web, and then now into the major web frameworks (and flutter, almost forgot!) … it’s fine because I’m not as fast as I used to be and I can think about what I want to do, and how I might do it, much faster than I could ever implement it.
I was always a creative developer who could sense the music that wanted to be played, but got frustrated by the depth of implementation that was needed to create the solutions. Now, I have a very talented junior workforce with Cursor for $20 per month. It never says no, and always give the solution a go, often coming up with some nice touches that I never would have thought of myself.
It’s a bit like a puppy that you need to set boundaries, control and clean up after …
More to come in 2026
